Meh wanted Geads to start

He could be a great sub player with his pace and quick feet. I think he has a far too many moments of missing on the pitch to be a starter.

You´re a bunch of girls.

A mature and well thought out response.

 

[Tramps_mate]

We will win 3-0...

 

[ianefc]

We needed a preseason. That's my fear. We have displayed zero competitive edge so far. Arsenal will roll us over today.

By 2 clear goals I'm afraid

 

[Titus Bramble]

We haven't kicked off yet lads, can we stop panicking please.

 

[Eggs]

Best player was Pienaar, yes. But that doesn't mean he plays today against class opposition who'll be very pacy does it? Naismith had an adequate game last week...I tend not to get carried away with the hype.

....not sure about hype. I just think Pienaar and Naismith are good footballers. All about opinions I suppose but I find it odd that anybody who watches them week in week out thinks to the contrary.

 

[FTY]

Think we're gonna get a hiding here if I'm honest.

martinez has won the league 1 title and the FA Cup, davek has won the odd argument on GOT - i'd settle for martinez' opinion on teams

Hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised. I think Arsenal are battle ready and we're struggling in that respect at the moment. Flamini will be taking no prisoners today.

I'd sling Besic on, tbh. I dont think we can afford to be too passive here today.

Harsh...very harsh!

Was this the Naismith who scored against Arsenal last season, and who scored last week, and in pre season, but people want to drip him for the completely unknown Atsu despite them not even playing the same position? Who else exactly is going to play number 10 now Barkley is out? Naismith to make everyone eat their words yet again probably from a Pienaar assis.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Christ almighty we haven't even kicked a ball yet and people are being negative! It's probably our strongest line up besides Barkley ffs the team that pushed Arsenal hard for CL last season and tore them a new one in April.

Get a grip

[Walken]

think there could be actual casualties here boys, we will be lucky to get out of this with 11 players still breathing, and our defeat in single figures

I think it's the fact arsenal are much stronger that's worrying people more mate
